Why doesn't my board erase?

Most common reasons: 1. Make sure the protective plastic film is removed.2. In order to ensure that your surface will function properly, it is extremely important to properly clean the board prior to its initial use.3. Low odor markers do not erase well because they use a water based drying agent. LCS markers use a solvent based drying agent that allows the ink to dry quickly and erase easily.

Porcelain or Melamine?

Porcelain whiteboards are typically referred to as magnetic whiteboards because the porcelain surface is enameled to sheet metal, allowing the whiteboard to accept magnets. Porcelain is a ceramic material derived from heated clays (often kaolinite), which produces a vitreous surface. This hard, non-porous surface helps to prevent ghosting, an effect caused by the absorbance of marker inks into the board's surface. While porcelain whiteboards are a little more expensive, they are durable and can withstand years of use.

Melamine whiteboards may seem to be a more economical alternative to porcelain whiteboards. They are composed of a hard plastic laminate that is covered with a clear-coat writing surface. These whiteboards are designed for light use however, as the clear coat can wear away and leave the surface exposed to ghosting. Melamine whiteboards are best suited in applications where they will be cleaned after each use.
